Woven Heart Sachets

I'm sure that many of you are familiar with the Scandinavian woven heart baskets that are prevalent throughout the Christmas season. Often made from paper, they make cute vessels for treats which are then hung onto the Christmas tree. For years, I have made the woven heart baskets out of fabric. They make durable, yet pretty containers for small gift items.My twist on the baskets are these woven fabric heart sachets with scalloped edging. They make the perfect sachet when filled with lavender buds.When stuffed with fiberfil, they can also be made into Christmas tree decorations.Unlike their paper counterparts, these are durable and can be used from year to year.Of course, there has to be a polka dotted version, just because!

About Me

Tutorials

My tutorials are comprised of patterns of simple shapes and forms that can easily be replicated. If you do not see a tutorial for an item that I have created, it is more than likely due to it's complexity and/or it's odd pattern shapes (or sometimes simply a lack of time during the item's construction). All of the tutorials that I have created over the years have been posted to my blog. Enjoy!
